 > get_post_format_strings()

 Alright, It does make sense to use that, however, only if the public
 facing language is the same as what's used in the backend. Some people
 might have a Localised backend, and choose to have the theme in English,
 in that case, it'd use the localised values when it shouldn't.

 Leaving it for the theme (like it currently is done) results in the best
 outcome for readers of a website, not only is everything consistantly in
 one language, but the grammar/tone/dialect used in each translation is the
 same. (But vice-versa, If different people translate the front and
 backend, the resulting translation may differ, which would be more
 confusing for the Writer of the site)

 Example of implementing this at present however: {{{ echo
 get_post_format_string('aside'); }}}


 > comments_popup_link ignores specific plural forms. There is only one
 plural form

 Unfortunately, A proper fix for this never got into WordPress 3.2 (#13651)
 so you're stuck with it how it is in Twenty Eleven, Just treat it the same
 as you did in Twenty Ten (By using an overly generic word?)

 > BTW why HTML b and not strong?

 Thats among the things listed on #17748 at present.

 > wp_link_pages()

 That's definately used inconsistently. The proper output for the theme is
 for the text to be wrapped in {{{<span>}}} tags, as it styles it to alter
 the margin between the word and the numbers. However, we can make it
 easier on translators here by moving the {{{<span>}}} out of the
 translated text.
